Spring Blossoms with Simple Stems

With the weather in Houston turning balmy this weekend, it made me reach for the fresh Spring colors in the Sweet Sorbet Designer Series Paper along with the Simple Stems Stamp sets.
    
    
    Sweet Sorbet Designer Series Paper
The  Occasions Catalog includes the Simple Stem Stamp Set, which was cut into three layers with Dimensions between the layers.  I love cards with lots of layers and the die cut, ribbons and hand-cut flower layers make me think of colors I want to wear this spring.  I doubled the 3/8" Crisp Cantaloupe Ruffled Stretch Trim.   Candy dots worked perfectly in the upper corner.  The little  thank you sentiment is from Express Yourself stamp sets punched on Word Window and mounted on the Modern Label punched shaped.  I hope you enjoy this fresh card.

News from 2014 Stampin' Up! Leadership -- starts Jan 8


  • Stampin' Up! Leadership Conference 2014 Starts today... 
  • Swaps from Sherrie Robinson's shoebox swap 

Stampin' Up! 2014 Leadership Starts today here in Houston, TX and I'll be sharing updates on my blog and cards I swap on my Meetup site. 

Be sure to visit my Meetup Site to see swaps I made or received during Leadership.  Here's one of the swaps I received from Sherrie Robinson's shoebox swap from the 7-11pm session last night.  Several more cards are on my Meetup site.  If you haven't visited the site in a while, visit again to maintain your membership to my Meetup site for easy access.  Meetup automatically drops names who haven't visited in over a year.  So I'll keep giving you reasons to visit!

This is one of my favorite swaps from last night.  I will post more swaps after today's sessions.  This card is from one of the two other shoe box swaps Sherrie held earlier in the day on Wednesday, so I don't have a name or website to link to  give credit.   If this is your wonderful card let me know and I'll link to your site.







Last night's shoe box swap was so much fun.  Lots of stories about the challenges to get to Houston with delayed or cancelled flights due to the extremely cold weather in other parts of the country.




Thanks, Sherrie Robinson, for another great experience at your show box swaps.  I can only tell you that Sherrie puts on one of the greatest swaps at Leadership and Convention every year.



Now I have almost 50 cards to show off with stamps from the new Occasions catalog, sneak peeks of the Sale-A-Bration stamps and new papers, and favorites from the main catalog.  See the links at the bottom of this post to download FREE copies of the catalogs.  And visit the right hand side of my blog to sign up to receive updates when my blog is published this week so you don't miss a thing!
